Race Thread: Tour de Romandie 2026 (lemmy.world)
 

It's the 79th Tour de Romandie, the historically French-speaking region of Switzerland.

Traditionally, this race starts with a short prologue followed by a series of hilly and mountainous stages in the Jura mountains and the Alps before ending with an ITT somewhere close to Lausanne. This year, though, the final ITT has been replaced with a mountain top finish, apparently in an effort to remove all doubt about who will win.

Who will win? Well, Pogacar, of course. Here are the main competitors:

  • POGAČAR Tadej
  • SCHMID Mauro
  • LIPOWITZ Florian
  • ONLEY Oscar
  • MARTINEZ Lenny
  • GODON Dorian
  • TIBERI Antonio
  • ROGLIČ Primož
  • FORTUNATO Lorenzo
  • PLAPP Luke

You can see more details about each state on the PCS page for the race.

    Race Thread: Flèche Brabançonne/Brabantse Pijl 2026 (lemmy.world)
     

    It's the Arrow in Brabant - the link between the cobbled classic and the Ardennes, and a damn good race.

    It might even be enjoyable, given the absence of the big 4 or 5 or however many we're counting on to attack with 80 km to go in this terrain.

    The route, usually, is on narrow hilly roads through the landscape in Wallonie, from Beersel to Overijse. Along the way, the riders will pass a number of sharp short climbs - the bergs and straats - until they reach Overijse and ride three laps and a winner is declared.

    It is an open field, this year, with no clear favourite - but according to PCS we should look out for:

    • Gregoire
    • Schmid
    • Del Grosso
    • Vermeersch
    • Venturini
    • Wellens
    • Zambanini
    • Menten
    • Leknessund
    • Baudin

    Moderator actions from mod on external instance are reversed (lemmy.world)
     

    My other user - @EvilCartyen@feddit.dk - is the only mod of the community !procycling@lemmy.world.

    I've tried to appoint other moderators and sticky threads, and it works on my local instance but doesn't show up when I log into lemmy.world using this account.

    And then after something like 12 hours the appointment is reversed on the external instance as well, so the feddit.dk account is yet again the only mod.

    1. This seems like a bug with federation
    2. Would it be possible for you to add this account as a mod, so I can use that instead of the external account?

    I would do this myseld, but, well, it doesn't work.
